And while people generally don't care, the step turns out to be really functional. Everything from washing the top, to getting a better view of an obstacle.

Northridge stocks them and has awesome pricing and free shipping.
x2 on all points here. Also got mine from Northridge4x4 in only 3 days Seems everyone that run the LOD's are very happy with them

I've had LOD on three different jeeps and they are in the garage for my current project. I'm going to weld these on this time since I don't want to fool with drilling and tapping again. Great sliders and a great company.

sent from my work leash

I wouldn't let a rock slider transfer a hard blow directly to the body, be it off road or an accident. Only frame mounted sliders were considered.
I chose the Shrockworks, which took some time to arrive, but they're worth it. Real tough.

I eventually repaired it by putting a Poison Spyder rock skin between the body and the Rockhard boat side rock sliders. As much as I like the total boat slider coverage I'd go a different direction if I had a "do-over" chance

I've been happy w/ my EVO rock sliders, they are pure beef, and frame welded. I ran ACE's previously, and they were okay, but I wanted something beefier for the rocks.

EVOs are legit too. Downside is most don't want to weld sliders on. They're pure beef though
